[size=15pt]How much Federal Allocation does Lagos get compared to Anambra?

What's the population of Lagos compared to Anambra?

What is the employment rate of Lagos compared to Anambra?

So why is Anambra allowed to deport Non-Anambrans (children beggars for that matter)?[/size]

Texas.Cowgirl:
[size=15pt]Onlytruth PUBLICLY BOASTED that Anambra has a social program for homeless and beggars.

Why is it so hard for Anambra to take care of its almijiris?

However, the almajiris were reunited with families, so why the noise?

Also, tell me why Anambra public service was not allowed to be utilized by Non-Anambrans.

Why were Non-Anambrans deported by Peter Obi? [/size]

Unemployment rate in Anambra is among the highest in the South-east zone, at 21.3 per cent, it is higher than the national average of 21.1 per cent. Imo’s unemployment rate is 29.9 per cent and Enugu is 15 per cent. The state has tried to reduce unemployment through its Anambra Integrated Development Strategy (ANIDS) and the Anambra Youth Reorientation and Empowerment Program (ANSYREP), but the problem with these programmes is that they contribute very little to the production base of the state.

The incidence of poverty in the state is very high – actually disappointing. The South-east has a food poor incidence of 41.0 per cent of which 60.9 per cent is absolutely poor, while 66.5 per cent is relatively poor and 56.8 per cent live under a dollar a day. Anambra has a poverty index of 22.8 per cent, the third highest in the zone, and shares the sixth lowest position in Nigeria with Rivers State which also has 22.8 per cent. About 47.6 per cent of the state’s population is core poor, 45.0 per cent is moderately poor and only 7.4 per cent of the state’s population is classified as none poor. Income inequality as measured by changes in Gini co-efficient between 2003 and 2010 increased slightly by 7.6 per cent as against 18.1 per cent for Ebonyi and Enugu States 7.5 per cent increase.

The people of Anambra State are known to be brilliant, enterprising and resourceful. Most of Nigera's brightest professors, writers, public servants and politicians hailed from the state. One would expect that given this enterprising spirit, the state would create conditions conducive to innovation, business and development. This is not the case, out of the five South-eastern states, Anambra has the fourth lowest ranking for ease of doing business; it was at a distant 35th position out of the 36 states and FCT in 2010. Starting a business involves nine procedures that may span 39 days. Enugu with the best doing business ranking in the zone, takes the 30th position of the 36 states, while Imo is ranked 36, as the most difficult state to do business both in the South-east and nationally.

The 2012 budget for the state is N82.5 billion as against N66.9 billion in 2011, representing a 23.2 per cent increase. N46.8 billion (57%) is apportioned for capital expenditure, and N35.7 billion (43%) is for recurrent expenditure. Analysing the recurrent budget further, N9.2 billion or (26%) is set aside for Consolidated Revenue Fund Charges, N16.3 billion (45%) for personnel costs, N7.4 billion (21%) for overhead costs and N2.8 billion (8%) as subvention to parastatals/ tertiary institutions. Anambra’s total IGR for 2012 is projected at N12 billion, the same figure as was projected in 2011. This means, while its expenditure has increased, the state has not enhanced its capacity to collect or expand its tax base.

The two major contributors to IGR in 2012 will be N6.7 billion from taxes and about N4 billion from fines and fees. If this IGR is measured against the states projected personnel costs of N16.3 billion, Anambra cannot pay its staff salaries without reliance on federal allocation; this means it is one of those ‘dependent’ states and is not economically viable for independent existence.
The 2012 budget will be funded by projected capital receipts of N47 billion, N12 billion as IGR and N36 billion as FAAC allocations, bringing total revenues to N95 billion, out of which N12.3 billion would be transferred to Capital Development Fund. In sectoral terms, N28.2 billion (34.2%) is allocated to the economic sector, N24.2 billion (29.4%) to the social sector, N9.7 billion (11.82%) for the environmental sector and N20.2 billion (24.52%) for general administration.

The education sub sector is allocated N10.99 billion. The state has a longstanding reputation of being an educationally advanced state: it has at least nine institutions of higher learning, its literacy rate is comparatively high, in a 2010 NBS literacy survey, youth literacy in the state was said to be 92.9 per cent and adult literacy at 74.0%. However, compared to its South-east neighbours, the state has the third lowest adult literacy amongst the five states, Abia has 78.2 per cent, Imo 80.8 per cent, Enugu with 64.6 per cent and Ebonyi with 69.8 per cent. This means that in education terms, Anambra is performing poorer than most other states in its region. From this regional perspective, it means investment in education urgently needs attention and ought to be ramped up.

A meagre N1.4 billion is budgeted for health, and considering that health should be the core focus of any state government, this amount is barely adequate. From this sum, it is evident that the government has misplaced priorities, apportioning only 1.7 per cent of the entire budget to a sector that directly affects the livelihood of all of its populace.

Agriculture is apportioned N1.4 billion, an evidence of misplaced priorities: with figures like these, it is no surprise that unemployment in the state is high. How can a state government allocate only 1.7 per cent of its entire budget to agriculture in a rural state? Unemployment can be tackled effectively with agriculture if the value chain challenges in food and cash crops production are tackled.

The housing sub sector will get N1.8 billion, the government plans to partner the private sector in providing more residential accommodation, a core focus will be on completing all existing projects. This is commendable.

It is an insult to the Igbo race to openly or even remotely suggest that any part of Igbo land is the poorest in the country. This negates our resourcefulness and ingenuity as a people.

29 of such women who displayed their children as strategy for getting alms have already been arrested in Awka and Onitsha, and repatriated to their home states; Ebonyi and Akwa Ibom states.

The state commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Development, Dr. Ego Cordelia Uzoezie, disclosed Friday in Awka when a middle-aged woman was arrested for begging with nine children at various points in Awka.

We asked for evidence, we've gotten it. Lets hear what Anambra has to say.
Just hope they don't lie again.
Nigerians will lie, even when they've made it halfway through the gate of heaven!!

Chrisjane: Apart from the 14 Anambarians, why did Fashola deport 58 persons who re nt Anambarians?
Why 3am in the morning?
Why were they packed like sardines in a truck?
Why break the fundamental human rights in enforcing his so called 'rehabilitation'?
NIGERIANS, we know the truth but we 've been blinded by tribalism. Let's not be prejudiced. Speak UP and nt OUT!!

Peter Obi responded:


http://www.punchng.com/news/el-rufai-insulted-igbo-race-obi/

Peter Obi is not only a liar, he's a bigot too. Obi's line of defense to anything is ethnic card. He's a disgrace to governance. Fasola has exposed the bigotry in Obi for world to see. Can you imagine a governor whose governor carried out this (see quote below) complaining bitterly about a well thought out policy that's being implemented in Lagos and Akwa-Ibom:

[size=28pt]Obi is a shameless bigot who likes to preach the direct opposite of his actions. Do as I say but ignore my actions! Obi is a fraud, a liar, a bigot, a failure etc[/size]

don401: I think nairaland is full of senseless people. Obi is liar screams cowards("y"people). Fashola releases bulshit claimin to inform anambra gov dats crap.sue d hell out of dat foolish lasg. Dumpin nigerians in middle of no where by 3am(how many onitsha people wia dia?). Wat hapns to normal day. If u supports fashola's discrimination, may God have mercy on U. Fact wat lasg did ws not good simple. I don't see any reason 4 all dis "obi is a liar shit".wat did he liar bout? He jst said d truth or is lagos only state wit beggas? Fashola or wat he calls himself shud knw he will neva get any votes from ibo people . "Y"people are very irritatin,dirty set of cowards. Mchew

Nebeuwa: Deportation within one's own country coupled with this Ladipo fiasco. Of course Igbos will be angry.

Since April of 2013.....Obi neither discussed the issues in the letter, nor did he acknowledge that his people needed state's help.

No, Obi came out almost 3 months later to deny that he was approached.
